Hi Declan, Those are impressive resources -- unfortunately they are all rights reserved and non-free materials as they do not meet the requirements of the free cultural works defintion :-( -- (see http://www.nature.com/scitable).
WikiEducators will not be allowed to reuse, adapt and modify these resources and their freedoms to teach with these materials have been taken away. Sadly we live in a world where ideas and knowledge have been transformed into property rights which restrict access and reuse for a better society. Fortunately, there are a growing number of projects in the free culture like WIkiEducator, the Wikimedia Foundation projects, Connexions etc which aim to change the world into a better place :-). Lets work together in creating free alternatives which all teachers in the world will be able to use without restriction.
